TWR066 Checker Bracelet Tutorial




Like the checkerboard, eh? Heheh......

In this tutorial you will learn how to make this Checker Bracelet where squares sections; made from bugle
bead and embellished with Swarovski bicone (think checkerboard? heheh..... ) are joined together with netted seed bead.






I did not list the exact number of beads you need because as far as bracelet is concerned it is very much a
matter of individual sizes; since the size of wrists from one to another varies greatly and also a matter of
preference; in that whether you like to wear your bracelet snug fit or loosely. I, for example have a small
wrist and prefer wearing bracelet that fit a little snugly.






The size of the bracelet that I made in this tutorial is 6” long using 80 bicones with 5 squares link. I didn’t specifically numbered the amount of bugle beadsand seed bead you’ll need because I assume that these would have been bought in packets or shanks which I believe should be more than enough for one bracelet.






Tools & materials used:
  • 4mm Swarovski crystal bicones
  • 6mm bugle bead
  • Size 11/12 seed bead
  • Clasp of your choice (I use magnetic clasp here)
  • Crimp bead
  • Fishing line/Monofilament/Supplemax or equivalent
  • Scissors
  • Chain nose pliers
